More quotes by Stephen Hawking

Image
The human race is just a chemical scum on a moderate-sized planet, orbiting around a very average star in the outer suburb of one among a hundred billion galaxies. We are so insignificant that I can't believe the whole universe exists for our benefit. That would be like saying that you would disappear if I closed my eyes.
Stephen Hawking
Image
Though we feel we can choose what we do, our understanding of the molecular basis of biology shows that biological processes are governed by the laws of physics and chemistry and therefore are as determined as the orbits of the planets.
Stephen Hawking
Image
While there's life, there is hope.
Stephen Hawking
Image
Time travel was once considered scientific heresy, and I used to avoid talking about it for fear of being labelled a 'crank.'
Stephen Hawking
Image
If aliens visit us, the outcome would be much as when Columbus landed in America, which didn't turn out well for the Native Americans.
Stephen Hawking

Only time - whatever that may be - will tell.
Stephen Hawking

Because there is a law such as gravity, the Universe can and will create itself from nothing.
Stephen Hawking
Image
It is a waste of time to be angry about my disability. One has to get on with life and I haven't done badly. People won't have time for you if you are always angry or complaining.
Stephen Hawking
Image
Do you believe in first love - or should I pass by again?
Stephen Hawking
Image
We are entering an increasingly dangerous period of our history. But I'm an optimist.
Stephen Hawking

Working with my father [Stephen Hawking ] is a great thrill - he has the amazing ability to hold enormous amounts of information in his head.
Stephen Hawking
Image
In fact, if one considers the possible constants and laws that could have emerged, the odds against a universe that produced life like ours are immense.
Stephen Hawking
Image
Maxwell is the physicist's physicist.
Stephen Hawking
Image
I want to encourage public interest in space. I have never let my condition stop me. You only live once.
Stephen Hawking
Image
You cannot understand the glories of the universe without believing there is some Supreme Power behind it.
Stephen Hawking

Keeping an active mind has been vital to my survival, as has been maintaining a sense of humor.
Stephen Hawking
Image
Maybe my variety is due to bad absorption of vitamins.
Stephen Hawking
Image
The human failing I would most like to correct is aggression. It may have had survival advantage in caveman days, to get more food, territory or a partner with whom to reproduce, but now it threatens to destroy us all.
Stephen Hawking
Image
In effect, we have redefined the task of science to be the discovery of laws that will enable us to predict events up to the limits set by the uncertainty principle.

In a world that is in chaos politically, socially and environmentally, how can the human race sustain another 100 years?
